Exhibitions

The Berlin-based artist Alexandra Ranner (Osterhofen, Germany, 1967) is to present her first solo exhibition in a Spanish museum at the CGAC. An overview of her artistic career from 2003 up until the present day, the show is based on a selection of works in different media, such as photography, sculpture, installation or video.

Back in the mid-nineteen nineties, a young Misha Bies Golas (Lalín, Pontevedra, 1977) discovered the CGAC out of a sort of impulse and curiosity for the institution that had just been founded in Santiago de Compostela. Thirty years on, the artist returns to the museum with a project that condenses more than two decades of research on the historical avant-gardes, understood as a field of tensions, displacements and unfinished processes.

Forgotten Island poses a reflection on artistic creation as an exercise in resistance and questioning, in which the intimate, the private space, and the circumstantial framework itself function as a kind of mapping to address the territory of the communal.
